We discuss everything, but generally he goes along with whatever I say. Most parenting things he doesn't think about, so he has no real opinions on that. For the money, I am the budgetor and he is the spender, so he listens to me.

We more or less go along with each other on major decisions, we both like the other to be happy with what we are doing, or buying. If one of us really disagrees we feel free to say no and why, then we go from there. I don't force on him and visa versa, but I did tend to let him have more control over the kids growing up w/discipline. I do the checkbook and bills, we were married very young & he was in The Marines and away a lot, so he left it up to me, and UNFORTUNATELY, he has left the damn job with me almost 48 yrs now, HUG. !! But there was never a control of any money, we just weren't use to that from the start of our marriage.
